FORMER Corsham bowler Craig Miles has been named in Gloucestershire’s squad for their first LV=County Championship home match of the season against Northamptonshire, starting on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old bowling all-rounder, who has a handful of first team appearances under his belt since making his debut as a 16 year old against the same opposition in the County Championship in May 2011, featured mainly for Gloucestershire’s second XI last season.

Miles, from Purton, signed a two-year extension to his deal with Gloucestershire last year.
